[quote=Anonymous]The "my brain was not working" thing is total BS. I put up with a LOT less than you do. If my kids were repeating water, over and over, I'd tell them to go to their room and they can come back when they're ready to speak appropriately and use manners to ask for things. I would also tell him, in front of the au pair, that each day he is to listen to her instruction by the second time she says it. Then I would tell the au pair, "When you give him an instruction, have him repeat it back to you so you're both confirming he's really heard you. If you have given the instruction a second time and he hasn't listened, then take away what he's doing - remove the iPad, take the toy, turn off the tv, close the book, etc." I really don't put up with this stuff. His "friendliness" doesn't excuse disobedience. Adults are in charge. [/quote]
